Summerville's McKissick may retire this week - Charleston Post Courier
Summerville football coach John McKissick said he hasn’t made up his mind yet, but could retire this week as the school’s athletic director and head football coach after more than six decades. McKissick, 88, has been the Green Wave’s head coach since 1952 and would be entering his 64th season this fall. McKissick is the winningest coach in football at any level with a record of 621-156-13. “I haven’t made up my mind, but I’m going into the district office on Monday and let them know what I’m going to do,” McKissick told The Post and Courier... “I’ve been the athletic director and football coach for a long time, and I feel like my age is catching up with me. A new school year will end on June 30 and I felt like this was the right time to do it if I was going to do it. ”. McKissick said... Joe Call, McKissick’s grandson and the Green Wave’s offensive coordinator, is expected to be named interim coach until a permanent replacement is found. Curtis, who has been the head coach at John Curtis Christian School in River Ridge, La. , is second in the history of high school football with 542 career wins. Source: www.postandcourier.com
